Skater dresses are fun and flirty and great for hot summer days/nights. They’re also an easy way to wear something trendy such as tangerine, colorblock and cut outs or something vintage inspired.

A lot of skater dresses can be good transition pieces into fall. For example, the leather River Island dress pictured below could be worn now for night and as an everyday piece in the Fall. Leather is supposed to be a big trend in the coming season. Also, a cute short-sleeved one like the Layla Skater Dress (pictured below) from Nasty Gal would look great with tights or thigh-high socks and a leather jacket for Fall. When looking for a transition piece, make sure to pick a color that’s appropriate for both seasons and can easily be updated by changing accessories or adding a cardigan or jacket.

The possibilities with skater dresses are endless. They come in a variety of prints, fabrics and colors, they’re easy to accessorize and their fit-n-flare shape flatters most body types.
